Synopsis: | Many consider this Bram Stoker novel to be just as good as his more famous work, Dracula. A cryptic warning inscribed on the entrance of the hidden tomb, forgotten for millennia in the sands of mystic Egypt. Eventually, people came in search of the fabled Jewel of Seven Stars, which they found clutched in the hand of the mummy. Few heeded the ancient warning, until all who came in contact with the Jewel began to die. This version has the ORIGINAL 1903 ending--not the revised 1912 ending. At the time, many publishers thought the original ending was too gruesome, so they asked for a rewrite. For many years the original ending was unavailable to readers. NOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader. EXCERPT: It all seemed so real that I could hardly imagine that it had ever occurred before; and yet each episode came, not as a fresh step in the logic of things, but as something else... |
